It's an Outback. It's a chain. It's just okay. I will start off by saying that service was excellent. I mean if I took 2 sips of water, my water was topped off. When I finished a plate, it was quickly removed. We started off with the Aussie Signature Sampler which has fried mac and cheese, bloomin onion, and cheese fries all on one plate. It was delicious... the carb count was definitely worth it. I paired it with a margarita that was flavorful. So then my meal comes out, steak, shrimp and steamed veggies. It was not good at all. The steamed veggies were overly cooked and soggy. It was as if they popped a frozen bag of veggies in the microwave and poured it on my plate to include the water at the bottom on the bag. I didn't care much for the shrimp flavors much... can't put my finger on what tasted off though. Even though my steak was overcooked, it was still nice and tender. Overall, I laugh at the fact that my expectations were so high for my meal but I can definitely say that service saved the day! read more

Outback is one of my favorite places to go to get quesadillas & chicken wings. They never disappoint! The quesadillas are always on point and I love their honey mustard dipping sauce. The wings are always seasoned to perfection and crispy. I also love their cheese fries that's loaded with Colby jack cheese, bacon and ranch. We went right after they opened so our food came out fairly fast and the service was great. read more

Visited the Concord Mills location over the weekend and enjoyed my stay. This location is a newer one so there is a spacious feel to it and an updated decor. The server was very friendly and attentive. I tried the chicken and shrimp pasta here for the first time ( not a big steak person), and it was decent ; not too spicy or too greasy. The pasta entree was so large, I had plenty to take home. I enjoyed some favorites (blooming onion and medium chicken wings ) and a new seasonal Gingerbread cocktail that was cute and delicious . I like that this restaurant is so close to the mall as well, makes getting something to eat after shopping convenient. read more

Outback Steakhouse - Ribs after I was done - Steakhouses Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

A little busy...But always friendly......I would recommend this place to everyone.........Will come back. .

If I could give zero stars I would. We have had issues with this location since they opened. We told ourselves that they were new and still getting everything worked out. Mother's Day evening, during quarantine 2020, we ordered through DoorDash. The wait times were 60mins. 2.5 hours after we ordered our food wasn't ready. The dasher had to ask were our food was at least once and had to wait over an hour. Ordered our food at 6pm, DoorDash left Outback at 8:40pm. This location is 15 mins from our house. When we got our food, around 15 mins after DoorDash said they were on the way, the order was not complete. Food was missing, undercooked, and cold like it had been sitting out for a few hours. The bag was sealed so all of this is on Outback. If you like Outback, pick a different location. read more

Not a private parking lot, shared with Concord Mills Mall. Still fairly new so everything was clean inside. Bar with nice size TVs everywhere Bathrooms were clean. Sat at a little table, half table, half booth (hate the invention of this sitting arrangement and little tables) always run out of space on the table and they keep bringing more dishes...ugh Bread was cold, why bring butter? It ain't melting on cold bread (I was disappointed) Blooming onion good but greasy at the bottom (need paper on plate so it can soak up a little) Steak with AYCE shrimp starting at$15.99 for 6oz, the food was hot in temperature, steak medium on one side and well on the other. Sweet potato very small (2 good fork fulls) glad I had blooming onion to act as side dish. Fried shrimp was delicious, fresh and hot in temperature. Was not offered dessert. read more

Juli from this location was absolutely amazing. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure I got everything i needed. definitely returning bc of her. read more

Another family favorite here at Outback. I enjoyed the cream of potato soup and Caesar salad (& of course the bread YUM)! Steaks are great here as well as the options to choose from whether you're a steal fan or not. Their Mac n cheese is delicious as well. read more

Had great service. Drinks came out fast and food was cooked perfectly as well. I loved the manager presence in the dining room.

On May the 4th of May, it was My Grandnieces Birthday and the Manager ruined her Birthday dinner.. Our guest, a party of 9 We're running late, due to traffic. They We on their way. 8 minutes out. So we ordered for the children, and 2 Adults. When our food arrived, the manager stood over us, demanding to know when the other guest were going to arrive. We said 8 minute. The manger refused to allow us to eat, So we left . The manager ruined an 8 Year olds Birthday Dinner. SHAMEFUL Shame On You Outback Manger of Concord, North Carolin, Shame On You!!! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

Would literally give it no stars if I could! Waited for 20 minutes before I got a a table for two after 8pm. And while that does not seem too long, when coupled with everything else, it sucks. Took forever for the server to come, and then it took almost an hour for a soup and a burger to come, well, the soup never came. We were told they forgot about it and when the burger came it was cold and the fries were over seasoned. Our drinks were rarely refilled and we had to ask 3 different people for extra bloomin' sauce for our blooming onion. The funny part is the manager came out, apologized, and took care of our meal and then offered a dessert, and it took over 10 minutes to come too! End of rant, we will never go back to this location and probably not any Outback for quite awhile... read more

We have always had fantastic service! Great experience with our carry out orders, everything is exactly as ordered!

We went to Outback in Concord and it was a horrible experience. My husband ordered his steak medium and it came so well done that it looked like it was cooked for an hour. Sent it back and literally waited 25 minutes for another steak to be brought out. This is absolutely uncalled for. I feel he should have been given top priority as far as getting his meal and we sure didn't expect a half hour weight. The manager finally brought out his meal and gave him a sorry about that. The poor waiter tried his best to keep us happy but a person can only eat so much bread. Very disappointed and definitely won't be returning nor recommending them to anyone. read more

My family and I went in for dinner last night, left a bit disappointed. Our waitress was a sweet girl, but she was not the best. Not sure if was new, or what's going on. I started with an appetizer and a cocktail. She comes to our table THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, the first to ask me if I wanted alcohol in my drink.... Then 2 other times to ask which drink it was. When she finally brings it out, it's the wrong drink. I also ordered two lobster tails on the side, but only 1 was brought out. When we asked for napkins, she brings out paper towels from the bathroom, instead of regular soft napkins. The floors were dirty, as well as the seats. You can tell they don't wipe those down. There were crumbs all over the chairs. read more

Had family in town so we needed reservations for 10+ and post COVID, that isn't a thing anymore. Went to the steakhouse we will not name across the way and they told me 80 mins minimum wait and we would've had to sit @ separate tables. Called Outback from the other place's parking lot & not only did they accommodate, the service was phenomenal & food was great!! read more

We had the best service and meal last night. I love prime rib and wasn't sure if it was still being offered. Our waiter Christian C. was phenomenal. He quickly brought our drinks, water and bread and went to check. He was very attentive to our needs and the service was great. My prime ribs were available and were off the chain scrumptious . Hope to go back soon! read more

May 16 I took my wife and daughter to Outback Steakhouse for my wife's birthday. The server was great my wife & daughter's steak was also great, but I got the meat loaf, and it was not worth eating. It was my wife's birthday, and I did not want to make a fuss and spoil her evening, but I now would like to say my meat loaf was over cooked and hard. I ate the center of one and took the other home to throw away. I did not say anything to the staff because it would have ruined the evening. My bill was $93.51, and I will not return to this restaurant. read more

5 of us came here for a late lunch. Although the place wasn't busy, we had to wait for about 15 minutes for a table. I was not going to write a review for this Outback because it was like any other locations. However, I decided to write one due to the service we received. 1) Our table had no silverware even after the food had come out. We had asked for them repeatedly as well. 2) It took about 15 minutes for water, soda, and lemonades to show up but the worst part was when the waitress SNIFFED each one of the soda right in front of us to differentiate between diet and none diet ones. She said you can tell them apart by sniffing (by the way, she got them wrong). This is so unacceptable. We were totally shocked with this behavior! 3) We ordered a salad with dressing on the side but it came with dressing already on the salad. We didn't send it back because we didn't want to wait as the refill for the lemonade took 10 minutes. 4) One of us ordered mashed potatoes with the order but it came with a baked potato so it had to be sent back. Also 3 orders were supposed to come with honey mustard but didn't. 5) The waiting area had water but all they had were dirty cups... I felt like the waitress had her mind somewhere else the entire time. When we asked for something, it either came out wrong or slow. She was only good for the last 5 minutes when giving us the checks. I'm a big fan of chain restaurants and I usually enjoy Outback. However, I was purely disappointed with this location. read more

Horrible. I understand that today is a busy day but this was horrible. Our waiter barely showed up and would just walk by, look at us and leave. After the 50 minute wait to get in we waited much longer for food and when he brought it out it was cold! The table next to us also received cold food! My side of broccoli was two pieces and they "ran out of mashed potatoes" even though others still received it. When he finally showed up again he took it back to get it heated up and I didn't receive it again for another 10-20 minutes. He only realized because he came over to ask if we wanted dessert??? I don't want dessert I wanted my food. He wasn't even that friendly and barely hung around the table for us to get a word out when he came by. I enjoyed my previous experience here a year or so ago but this was horrible. Now I understand why there were at least 3, 1 star reviews in the past month. Luckily for the table next to us, the manager came by and solved their issue but I got stuck paying the full price for my already pricey food. I'd rather get a 2 for $20 at Applebee's.

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

5/2/19. Arrived at Restaurant. Nobody at front desk. Bartender Jarell noticed we were not being seated and came out to seat us. He then proceeded to take our order. I'm super picky about the temp of my steak, if it's over cooked I don't hesitate to return it. Jarell brought our drinks, salad and bread out quickly. He also delivered our entrees and waited to be sure the temp was correct. We received the best service ever. Jarell was a one man show. read more

I just recently order takeout at this location and I had a few things I wanted to show my appreciation for. To start with, my food was absolutely incredible and the service was even more outstanding. The young lady who helped me specifically was Kenzie and her service deserves more than a five star rating. I hope this review reaches the right person and benefits her in some kind of way, she deserves it! read more

The last time I went to an Outback Steakhouse, was in 1998 (on East Blvd. in Charlotte.) When my server asked me had I ever visited this establishment, that was my answer. I don't know if it was an ominous warning or just the pre-rehearsed script she had memorized? Either way, when she emphasized that they (Outback) had made improvements, THAT was the First Flag of concern I noticed... My drink order was for a 'Minute Made' lemonade (regular, not Pink) and a separate glass of water with ice. The lemonade was more sour than sweet and if you placed both drinks, side-by-side, they would almost seem identical. My food order was for a Crispy Chicken sandwhich, with seasoned French Fries. The last time I had that sandwhich, the chicken patty was wider than the bun it came on and it was delicious! This time? The piece of chicken I got, looked like a "Southern-Fried Scorpion"?! One side of the chicken, appeared like the upturned tail of a Scorpion, ready to strike! Then! The piece of chicken itself, was BURNED on the edges... UNDERNEATH-THE-BREADING of the chicken?! I know, I shouldn't really complain too much, because it WAS listed as "Crispy Chicken Sandwhich" but should've been listed as a "BLACKENED Crispy Chicken Sandwhich"! For a moment? I felt like I left Australia and traveled to Louisiana! When I brought this to the attention of my server "Gabrielle" (who was wonderful, by-the-way), she apologized and assured me that she would inform the Manager. Maybe or maybe not, the "Manager" was informed, but I wondered why didn't the manager, come to me, in-person and apologize? No Disrespect to her, but THAT should have been a job for the manager-on-duty. Based on what I experienced in this visit? I think, I understand WHY I got the spiel that I did. I guess it'll be another 20 years before I ever come back to an Outback Steakhouse or at least, to THAT location... There WERE some "positives" about my visit... The uniforms made the staff 'look' more "High-End"... It was a Tuesday night and the wait wasn't too long... The ketchup they provided for my seasoned fries, was a tasty complement... And the ice water they provided, was very cold and WET!!! read more

Went on a Saturday night and luckily due to their online reservation system (more like a call ahead) I only had to wait about 12 minutes whereas everyone else coming in had to wait a minimum of 30 at least that's what they were telling people. When you walk in there is someone with an iPad and they greet you as well as go ahead and check you in--very friendly faces as soon as you enter! The ambience is super nice which is probably due to the restaurant being so new. Once we sat down our server Henny was super nice and on top of things. He explained the specials to us and showed us how to use their iPhone ap. The only downside was that after we ordered it took us almost half an hour to get our food which is probably due to it being a Saturday night at Concord Mills. We did the unlimited shrimp special and Henny made sure we never had to wait for our shrimp refills. We ordered steaks and both were medium well but one was very pink but we didn't make a fuss since our server was so nice. Overall, pretty good experience and we will definitely go back if they continue the unlimited shrimp deal! read more

Great food when we FINALLY got it. Food not as warm as expected because it sat in back so long. Took an hour for food to come out. Locals say that's normal because they over built the table area for the size kitchen. Staff is very friendly and accommodating so kudos to them! read more

They never remember to put au ju with their prime rib. This is every time I order now.

We ate at Outback yesterday for an early dinner and my husband got food poisoning from their Prime Rib Sandwich.

I rarely post reviews, but I felt as if this Outback location in particular warranted it. For starters, my dad went there about 2 weeks ago & ordered a filet to go. When he got home, we saw the steak and it was completely inedible. It didn't even look like a filet, it was full of fat and marbling EVERYWHERE, to the point where there was no steak even salvageable. It was so disgusting, I'm not sure why they'd ever serve a steak like that. Fast forward to yesterday, Father's Day. We placed an online order at 5:52. We pulled into the curbside pick up (the parking spot was smack in the middle, extremely hard to miss). We sat there for well over 40 minutes, before the employee even acknowledged us, meanwhile she attended to every other car, including cars that came after us. When she finally did make it to our car, there was no apology for the wait. We told her our order & continued to wait. During our wait, we witness pretty much everyone else, besides us, get serviced and their food out rather quickly. Even customers that came well after us only had to wait roughly 10-15 mins. At 7 pm, she comes back to our car to says that they can't locate our order & that her manager would be out there to speak with us. We wait another 20 minutes, the manager never shows up. She then magically appears with our food, once again, no acknowledgement for the wait, the inconvenience, or to even see if her manager handles anything. We asked her was the food was still hot, because by this point it was well after 7, and the order was placed at 5:52. She assured us our food was hot. We check the food, none of it was fresh, it had clearly been sitting for a while. We advised her that none of the food was fresh, and once again, no type of empathy expressed. We finally get fresh food, but their was no effort made to rectify the situation, no beverages while waiting, no apology for the inconvenience. And for an order that was supposed to be ready by 6:30, we didn't even get until nearly 8 pm. Horrible customer service, and lackluster food. I will NEVER return here. read more

Just ordered Uber eats and I'm terribly disgusted. I loved outback and even worked there as a teenager but I am really let down after this experience. I ordered a 6 ounce sirloin. One side of the sirloin was burnt to a crisp and the other side was barely seared. The inside of the steak was blood red and I ordered medium rare. Being so rare you'd think you would be able to cut it. Not with a regular dining knife, I needed a butcher knife. I gave the steak to my dog after a $40 order. Absolutely gross. Thanks for ruining my Friday wish I could give 0 stars. read more

Dinner was great! Alice Springs chicken and the Ribeye were exactly right. Jas was my server, and she's a rock star. Friendly, great smile, attentive .... she made the meal perfect after a long day. Thank you, Jas! read more

Such a nice location. Our server is wonderful, courteous and kind. On Wednesday's they have a 9.99 special includes a little steak or chicken with a side and a soda! Even for it being a holiday everything came out fast and hot. Atmosphere is nice with a lot of people in here it still feels calm. Kate who I think was a manager even came out to check on us. Chocolate thunder from down under was delicious! read more

Outback Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Concord, North Carolina

I really like this Outback location. I've been to this particular location twice now and I love everything from the steaks to the service. Here's why/how this particular Outback is better than your typical chain restaurant... Food - The food is still awesome. I don't know that I've ever had anything that I didn't particularly like at an Outback. Had the Bloomin' Onion and its cousin the Bloom Petals. I know, I know, that thing is one of the most unhealthiest items you can get at a chain restaurant, but I'll be damned if you're gonna tell me it ain't better than awesome! The "Bloom Sauce" it's served with or ranch provide the perfect compliment. I've also had the "Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla" - also better than you might expect. Its comes served with honey mustard, but once again, you can never go wrong by asking for ranch right? As far as the steaks are concerned, my go to is the Center Cut sirloin with loaded mash potatoes and asparagus as my sides. All the sides are awesome really. The only side I didn't particular care for, is the mac-n-cheese - just not like what grandma makes. Service - The service has been nothing short of spectacular. I've been there when they were super busy right before the holidays, I've been there for lunch on a random weekday, and the service was exceptional both times. Ambiance - I really like the open layout of this Outback. You can see clearly from one corner to the other without any interference. Although I've never experienced it, they also look to have a nice outdoor patio area as well. But what I really like is the nice big bar area and the three huge flat screens facing you. The bar layout is simply perfect to me. Yes, parking can be worse than horrible, especially during the weekends and holidays, but that's the case with Concord Mills as a whole. Be prepared to spend extra time getting in and out of here. Otherwise, there's nothing not to like about this Concord Mills Outback Steakhouse location! I can't wait to go back! read more

Ordered two steaks with sweet potatoes and salad. Steak was cooked to perfection and the salad was delicious and larger than in the restaurant. My sincere complaint... your curbside attendant did not has a mask nor did they have gloves. WTF... are you exempt from current standards? read more
